Web browsers store history about the sites you have visited in a window or tab to let you easily go back and forth, you can use the back button or use a shortcut key Alt with either the right or left arrow key to navigate the history (learn more Alt, Shift, Ctrl shortcut keys).

However IE8 and Firefox offer users with a arrow to view the history as a drop-down list, however the arrows are missing in both Google Chrome and Opera.

However the missing arrow key for drop down navigation does not mean that the feature in itself is missing, to access the backward or forward history as a drop down list in Google Chrome and Opera click and hold on the forward or backward button instead of simply clicking on it.

Once you click and hold for a second you will see the history as a drop down list, you can then select which webpage you want to navigate too from the list.
